Cant comment nor see old comments on individual posts

    I’m losing my mind. The comments box below my posts randomly disappeared one day. Furthermore, all comments are not even showing on any posts. This is not the case with pages, though! 

    <?php get_template_part( 'content', 'single' ); ?>

					<?php
  $withcomments = "1";
  comments_template();
?>

    I looked through the forums and even though the above code is on my single.php page, NOTHING happens. I have not changed any plug-ins whatsoever on my site, so it cant be a plug-in breaking the section because comments used to show before and I haven’t changed a thing.

    visit one of my single posts below to see what I’m talking about:

    https://www.latinabroad.com/2012/06/04/types-asian-curries-list-photos/#comments

    47 comments as you see above in the little cloud on the right, but not only can you NOT see them, but you cannot write any new comments because there’s no common box shown! This happens with new posts as well.

    Please help!

    Have you tried:
    – Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches. Also, any op cache or content network cache, as well as Cloudflare, clear those caches.
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – switching to the unedited default Twenty Fifteen theme for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    so that was time-consuming. *sigh*

    Anyway! I found out the “Google authorship for multiple authors” plugin Version 1.5.0 | By Keyword Strategy” ‘broke’ the comments section on my child theme of Twenty Eleven – so heads up, people!

    It’s so weird though, it didn’t use to interfere, but seems like with a new update, it does.

    thanks Tara ??
